as we speak I would say these are the 3 strongest teams in 9-man, in this orderBarring no injuries or major set backs, a win against one another will be a test of, few mistakes and severe execution......Oh yea, and a little LUCK!....

Or maybe we are only two weeks into the season and possibly there are other good teams? How crazy would that be?!

He seems to leave that open by saying "as we speak." I don't know how you could have a problem with anything he said.

In my opinion, Cav and WL are the top dogs. I don't know anything about Divide so I can't speculate there. But as the season shakes out, teams like Shiloh, NRS, or Napolean could prove that they are the teams to beat in the state.

I can't disagree with anything you said, NS seems a lot like the Heat to me. They might not be the best team in state, but might be the favorite to win it all because they'll have the easiest path to the title game. Just like the Heat might not be the best team in the NBA, but lol Eastern Conference.

You ususally get the last 2 games and then you try to use connections, bargaining chips with other coaches around the state. Some are more willing than others. Bribes, blackmail, etc. just kidding. I believe each region is different

Scheduling purposes i'm sure. It's not exactly cheap to host an even in either the Fargo Dome or the Aleurus Center. All are played on the same day to consolidate the event into a single day to cut "rental" costs and to try to get different classes of football fans to watch more than just their respective teams play (thus spending more time and likely money at the venue).

my point was the reason given last year why it was on one day was because the Bison played on Saturday. Well UND doesn't play at home Saturday, so they could move it back to two days like they had before.

The old swinging gate play! I used to run this with my JH team. Depending on the defense, the QB has three options. Pass to the RB behind the line to the right, pass to the center like in this play, or run it himself.

When I was in high school our coach had a center eligible play, too. The line was spread out across the entire width of the field almost so it was difficult to tell who was on the line of scrimmage or not.
